This type performs much behind-the-scenes configuration that you normally have to write out to use the basic CloudFormation syntax. For example, the `AWS::Serverless::Function` creates a Lambda function, Lambda execution role, and event source mappings that start the function. You have to code all of this if you want to write it using basic CloudFormation.
